What is the relationship between Human Values and Happiness?
Truth is the first and foremost human value. Truth does not undergo any change in all in the three periods of time - past, present and future. You have to develop faith in that Truth. Next is Love. "Love is God, Live in Love." In fact, your entire life should be nourished and nurtured by love. When truth and love go together, non-violence is the result. Where there is love, people will not quarrel amongst themselves. When you develop love, you will consider all others as your brothers and sisters. Suppose you meet someone and say, "Hello Brother", even your enemy will respond by saying "Hello Brother". Hence, first purify your own thoughts and when you develop purity, there will be Divinity. When unity, purity and divinity go together, your life will certainly be happy.
Why should we love our enemies and our neighbors as our own?
An embodiment of Divine Love, God is complete love incarnate. This Love shines equally in every human being. The fragrance of a flower remains the same, whether it is held in the right hand or the left. Likewise, God has no distinctions, such as the favoured and excluded. Different persons, proceeding from their own likes and dislikes, attribute to the Divine, the differences existing in their own minds. The sandalwood tree imparts its fragrance, even to the axe that fells it. Likewise, God is ever prepared to love, foster and protect everyone equally without any distinction.
What is the key message of Christ to the world?
Christ declared to the world three important things: 1) God is One. 2) God is omnipotent. 3) Do not hurt anyone. God is the indweller of every being. Christ embarked on His mission and went about calling upon people to earn the love of God, by developing Love towards God. People professing different faiths worship God under different names. The truth is there is only one God. God is not to be found in mathamu (religions), but only in the mathi (mind). It is only when the mind is controlled and purified that God will be recognized.
How long the disturbances around us will continue to bother us?
At a distance from a bazaar, one hears only a huge indistinct uproar. But when we approach it and walk into it, one can clearly distinguish the individual bargaining at each shop. So too, until the reality of the Paramatma (Divine Self) is known, you are overpowered and stunned by the uproar of the world. But once you enter deep into the realm of spiritual endeavour, everything becomes clear and you are awakened. Until this awakening, you will be caught up in the meaningless noise of argumentation, disputation and exhibitionist flamboyance.
